Venom #16

In "Clemency," Venom finds himself caught between duty and chaos when he shields the imprisoned Human Fly from a deadly hit from the Hobgoblin—only to see the Fly exploit the resulting turmoil to flee. Written by Rick Remender and illustrated by Kevin Walker, with vibrant colors by Chris Sotomayor and letters by Joe Caramagna, this 2012 Marvel issue delivers a tense, morally complex showdown. Mike Del Mundo's striking cover captures the moment’s intensity, making it a standout in the series.
